John Deere N500C Air Drill – Full Seed Ahead for Small Grain, Cover Crop, Soya


Some new planting practices have started to emerge in the eastern highveld of South Africa. Soyabean in crop rotation has been well documented and widely adopted as a great method to supplement grain cultivation and diversify. It also allows growers to distribute risk from markets and rainfall requirements. This has prompted growers to evaluate how they adress the planting season with regards to soybeans with specific importance given to row width, seed spacing, singulation accuracy, and plant speed. Other key considerations are the ability to plant a variety of crops including the increasing popularity of winter cover crops. The N500C series planters have far exceeded expectations and here is why:
